Comfy Cosy Cool Roman Style
In case you haven't noticed, I believe that the garden is a very important part of every house. Homes need to feel connected to the landscape and the outdoor environment in order to be C-3 (comfy cosy and cool). In the Roman summer, it is a problem to stay literally cool.
Louise just turned me on to this great site (can you tell my wife is a landscape architect?). Here you can explore all kinds of gardens large and small, old and new, with some of the best ideas in garden design from the past 2000 years. The most recent post is on the gardens of Roman Empress Livia, an archeological site just north of Rome (the Italians know how to live).Thanks Garden History Girl for creating a truly valuable resource. I expect to spend a lot of time at your site.
